Message by HOD
The Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, established in
1981, is one of the most dynamic departments of Guru Nanak Dev Engineering
College. It was the first major diversification initiative by the college, 25 years
after its establishment. The department is currently running Bachelors and Masters
of Technology courses in Electronics and Communication Engineering and has
around 10 scholars enrolled for doctorate in areas like Antenna Design, VLSI,
Optical communication etc. Ever since its inception, the department has been the
hub of academic excellence through some great teachers who have laid a sound foundation as well as the cream
of students of the region, who have spread their wings all over the globe. Since, its inception, the department
has been giving a great emphasis on the overall development and improvement of its students and staff.
IETE Students’ Forum (ISF) of the department of Electronics and Communication Engineering regularly
organises technical and non technical events. Under IETE-SF banner, the department also organizes a technical
symposium “e-Vision” every year, in which various events like paper presentation, project presentation,
technical collage making, quiz competition etc. are conducted.
IETE Student forum organised a one day Technical Symposium e-vision’16 on 4th
Nov, 2016 sponsored by
TEQIP-II. The Theme of this symposium was “Role of electronics in making smart city project a success”,
catering the different aspects related to improvement in existing systems, innovation and development. The
prime intent behind this event is to enhance the students’ technical merit and implant the habit of deeper
learning and research. Also, it also offered a wide range of theoretical aspects, methodologies and applications
in the field of Electronics and Communication Engineering and the related branches.
Dr. Harish Kumar Sardana, Chief Scientist from CSIR-CSIO, Chandigarh inaugurated the function as Chief
Guest. Dr. M. S. Saini, Director, GNDEC and Brig. Mastinder Singh, Chairman of “The Institution of Engineers
(India)”, Ludhiana also graced the function with their presence. The guests were welcomed by Dr. S.S. Gill,
HOD, Department of ECE. On this occasion, Dr. Munish Rattan, convenor of e-vision’16, said that the
symposium will pave ways to a bigger and brighter future of students in the field of ever-changing world of
technology.

Students from various department of GNDEC participated actively in events like Paper presentation, Project
display, Collage making, Quiz etc. Nearly 300 students participated in various events showcasing their talent
and knowledge in domains like technical writing, circuit making etc. Also prizes were given to all the winners
and participation certificate to all the participants.

Apart from this symposium, department also motivates its students to participate in various national and
international technical and cultural events, symposiums etc.
Recently the Department has conducted a TEQIP-II sponsored National Seminar jointly with Department of
MBA in association with PCMA (Punjab Commerce and Management Association) on the theme *Make in
India: Challenges in Manufacturing and Engineering Industry* on 23rd September, 2016.
Make in India is an initiative launched by the Government of India to encourage multi-national, as well as
national companies to manufacture their products in India. It was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi
on 25 September 2014. The major features of this idea are new initiatives, FDI, IPRs & Manufacturing.
In the seminar, the faculty and students of different National Organizations were invited to contribute or present
their research papers related to Marketing and Financial issues in Manufacturing and Engineering Industries,
technological advancement, infrastructural development and human resource developments, Role of Education
and Innovations in Building India, Digital Entrepreneurship, Challenges before Women Entrepreneurs, etc.
The seminar was inaugurated by Dr. Prem Kumar (Vice-Chancellor GNA University) and Mr. Prem Ojha
(Chief Operating Officer Videocon Ltd.). Dr. M.S. Saini (Director GNDEC), Dr. S. S. Gill (HOD, ECE Deptt.,
GNDEC) and Dr. Sukhdev Singh (HOD, MBA Deptt., GNDEC) welcomed the worthy guests.
Dr. Ashwani Bhalla ( Executive Vice-President PCMA) and other PCMA members were also present to grace
this event. Dr. Sukhdev Singh served as Seminar-Chair for this event and Dr. Sandeep Singh Gill as Seminar
Co-Chair. The keynote address was delivered by Mr. Prem Ojha in which he summarized the core revelation of
the event.

The event was divided into two sessions for paper presentation. The research papers related to Challenges in
Engineering Industry were included in Session I and Challenges in Manufacturing, Marketing and Financial
sectors were in Session II. Staff and students worked with the great enthusiasm in organizing this seminar.
The prime intent behind this seminar was to provide an opportunity to the participants to learn and appreciate
the technology options, challenges and opportunities in Engineering as well as Manufacturing industries. There
were around 60 Faculty members and Research Scholars from different organizations who presented their
research on new ideas, products, or theories related to the theme of seminar.

Dr. Prem Kumar gave the brief overview about the seminar. He threw light on how new technology and
challenges in industries have revolutionized the world. Mr. Prem Ojha presented the enormous opportunities
that India offers as a base for manufacturing, design, research & development.
There were Expert talks by Dr. Dilbag Singh (Corporate Trainer, SKD Learning Pvt. Ltd.) on the topic “Human
resource challenges in Make in India” and Mr. Sanjeev Budhiraja (CEO Cheema Spintex) on the topic
“Challenges and opportunities in Textile industry”. They graced the event with their wonderful philosophical
thoughts.

Organizing Secretaries Dr. Baljeet Kaur (Department of ECE) and Prof. Amanjot Gill (Department of MBA),
GNDEC gave formal vote of thanks to all guests, faculty and participants.
Recently, Department has set up an industry sponsored Advanced Communication Laboratory in
collaboration with Videocon Telcom, for promoting industry institute interaction for the mutual benefit of
both, the institution and organisation involved. It will also encourage the collaboration in project proposals and
research activities of mutual interest. The inaugural ceremony was held on 9th
Dec, 2016.
Jathedar Kirpal Singh Badungar, President S.G.P.C. and Mr. Arvind Bali, Director and CEO Videocon Telecom
inaugurated the laboratory. S. Gurcharan Singh (Director, NSET), trustees of NSET and officials of Videocon
Telcom were also present to grace this occasion. Dr. M. S. Saini (Director, GNDEC) and Dr. S. S. Gill (HOD,
ECE Deptt., GNDEC), welcomed the worthy guests.
Jathedar Kirpal Singh Badungar, President S.G.P.C., congratulated the staff and students and appreciated the
effort put by the institute in the direction of industry-institute interaction.
Dr. M. S. Saini (Director, GNDEC) in his address said that this collaboration shall give a fillip to advanced
communication research and knowledge dissemination. He also highlighted that this initiative will help in
filling the gap between institute and industry and will give an industry focussed shape to classroom teaching.
